The release of Miku Append Software is today! Make sure to get your original copy and enjoy making wonderful songs!

HERE you can find an entire album ("Miku Append Demo Songs", released on April 28th, 2010) of Miku Append song for FREE!!!

MIKU Append features six new voice libraries to choose from. These voices go by the names, soft, dark, solid, vivid, sweet, and light.

1. whoo - Yoru no Niji (D.B. used solid & sweet)whoo used the fluffy softness that the sweet voice provides as he fell instantly in love with its sound. He paid particular attention to making sure she didn't sound too cute and was constantly tweaking her voice.

2. negoto - shoelace (D.B. used vivid)Negoto uses the vivid voice library to add flavor to his chiptune song. This song differs in mood from most of his other songs and is like walking and finding something amazing on the ground. He brought that joyous mood to your speakers with this positive and upbeat chiptune track.

3. kous - Kagefumi (D.B. used dark & soft & sweet)

kous used the dark, soft and sweet sound packs in this song. The beginning of the song starts off dark, once the hook hits, it goes to soft and the back chorus uses the sweet voice. Kous thought that the voices in Append were very atmospheric so he tried to make a soft song to match.

4. k-shi - Watashi rashisa (D.B. used dark)

k-shi used the dark vocal library for "Watashi rashisa". In anticipation for Append, k-shi prepared a lot of songs. For this demo he decided to go about putting a voice to the music in a laid back fashion and thought dark would work the best. He wanted to show the level of emotion he could give to Hatsune Miku without any major tweaking.

5. Chiquewa - Chocolat (D.B. used sweet)

Wow! This is our favorite song over here at HearJapan and the longest song in this collection. Chiquewa used the sweet voice library. It's a pop number that features a super sweet Hatsune Miku with a slightly unusual voice and is a perfect example of the direction Append can take poppy vocaloid songs. The lyrics were co-written with the female drummer Banda Shishou.

6. mojoP - Honey bee! (D.B. used Light)

mojoP wanted to use a light voice for a light chorus effect.

This download will be removed from HearJapan at the end of May. Miku Append & D.B. image Logo by Naoya Miyadai (opticalflats).

From the Manufacturer Hobby Max, here is an excellent master piece sculpted by Kiking. It is a 1/7 scale "World is Mine" Hatsune Miku, based on the illustration by masuchi.

She is gorgeous...

Both "World is Mine" figures: on the left is Hatsune Miku "The World is Mine" Vocal Series 1/8 Scale Figure w/ Frame by Good Smile Company; on the right is Hatsune Miku "World is Mine" 1/7 Resin Figure by Hobby Max.

This is the illustration by masuchi.

Photos by kuroken912... You made her even more appealing!!

All the pieces and prototype models that made this piece of fine art possible!

And here is a fan "World is Mine" PV made by kurokosan. She really looks like "World is Mine" Miku! I find her fanmade PVs just awesome, don't you agreed?

A quick check of the interwebs brought up nothing, besides the fact that the images were leaked on the sculptor's blog. But the pictures were enough to show that this is going to be yet another Vocaloid masterpiece from Max Factory. The pose, the hair, the colors... everything about her just screams "BUY ME!"

Now you may be wondering what scale she is, how much she will be, or the release date. Well, aside from the company making her and the sculptor (Masaki Apsy, who also sculpted most of the Figmas), there is little information floating around about Miku Append. Word on the street is that she will be given a full reveal on April 30th, so keep your eyes peeled for further info!
